The name alone caught my eye – Silky Straight Ironless. This new line from Fekkai contains an anti-frizz straightening complex to smooth each strand. Each product works synergistically to create and hold a chic, straight style.

For curlies going straight for the winter (like me), this seems like a cool product line to try out. I know I want to! The collection includes a shampoo, conditioner, smooth finish serum and a straightening balm that is supposed to give you a salon blow-out look sans stylist.

Hmmm, sounds too good to be true. Well, I got an e-mail today saying that to celebrate the launch, book a silky straight blowout in any Fekkai salon and receive a complimentary bottle of Ironless Straightening Balm (3.4 oz.). For a list of salons click here.

As you probably know from previous posts, I’ve been wearing my PGH straight lately. All the heat styling tools take a toll and I’ve been on the hunt for a product to keep my hair healthy and strong.  Enter It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in Conditioner. This product was recommended to me by five different stylists at five different salons, so I figured it had to be somewhat good, right?

On the bottle, it claims it does the following instantly:
1. Repairs dry, damage hair
2. Adds shine
3. Detangles
4. Controls frizz
5. Seals & protects hair color
6. Prevents split ends
7. Stops hair breakage
8. Creates silkiness
9. Enhances natural body
10. Flat iron spray & thermal protector

Sounds like a pretty good all-in-1 solution! I’ve been using It’s a 10 for about 2 weeks and so far I really like it. My hair is still looking healthy, shiny and I think it’s even getting easier to style.  I reccommend this to anyone who has dry, damaged or chemically treated hair.

Attention, attention! Fekkai’s Golden Shimmer Gelee Mist gets our vote for ‘09 Holiday Hair Must-Have! Take hair from everyday to holiday with this limited edition, lightweight spray gel.

Garnier Fructis just announced supermodel Bar Refaeli (Leonardo DiCaprio’s girl) as their latest spokesmodel. Refaeli will appear in Garnier Fructis’ international campaigns for the brand’s newest launches: Triple Nutrition Hair Care and Anti-Humidity Hairsprays set to launch in June 2009.

We just got word that Garnier Fructis will launch a new line this July called Triple Nutrition. The line will include a shampoo, conditioner and treatment product that targets moisture-starved hair but with an aim to add life to it, not simply moisturize locks.

Triple Nutrition formulas contain three oils — olive, shea and avocado — which work together and aim to nourish hair. The Dryness Reversal Treatment, a three-minute leave-in conditioner, is formulated with crushed apricot seeds to exfoliate the hair shaft. The shampoo and conditioner will sell for $3.99 each; the treatment will sell for $5.99.

I’m not a huge fan of Garnier Fructis, but perhaps I’ll give this new line a try. Remeber – curly hair needs to stay moisturized!

Last week, I told you all about my sister’s itchy dry scalp. I gave her a bottle of Eufora’s Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment and sent her home. Well, she just sent me a text message saying that the product was not strong enough to cure her flakes – but she did find something that did work!

Drumroll please! Neutrogena’s Tgel Daily Control^® Dandruff Shampoo. After a couple uses her scalp was back to normal.

Just wanted to let everyone know
